own goal

The phrase "own goal" typically refers to a scoring play in sports, particularly in soccer (also known as football), where a player unintentionally scores a goal for the opposing team. This occurs when the player accidentally kicks, headers, or deflects the ball into their own team's goal rather than the intended target. Hence, an own goal is considered a point or goal scored against one's own team, often to the detriment of their overall performance or success in the game.
